Vacancy reference 174926 Researcher in Health Choice Modelling - JD, Aug 2024 1 The Health Economics Research Centre (HERC) HERC is a thriving group of health economists and analysts, with a varied and innovative research programme. HERC at present consists of more than 30 health economists (staff and DPhil students), plus administrators, research associates, virtual visitors and senior visiting fellows. HERC has a well-established reputation as a centre of excellence in health economics. HERC staff are involved in a wide range of methodological and applied research projects, both national and international, that currently emphasise the methodology and application of economic evaluation to health interventions, disease modelling, outcome measurement and valuation, econometric analyses of large and complex longitudinal datasets, assessment of socio-economic driven inequalities in various disease areas, economic assessment of novel genomic technologies, health care decision making, the economics of antimicrobial resistance and COVID-19, and health systems evaluation. Staff also undertake undergraduate and graduate supervision and teaching. For example, HERC contributes to teaching on three University of Oxford MSc courses. The distance learning MSc in Clinical Trials provides in-depth training in the principles and practice of conducting large-scale, randomised clinical trials. The MSc in Global Health Science and Epidemiology, a one-year, face-to-face full-time course, aims to promote in-depth understanding of global health issues by study of a range of disciplines in biomedical and social sciences. The MSc in Precision Cancer Medicine is a two year, part-time, online course that provides students with the multidisciplinary skillset and knowledge required to design, conduct and lead precision medicine research. Other teaching activities include the successful ‘Applied Methods of Cost-effectiveness Analysis’ course, which attracts an international enrolment and has been run in Oxford, Australia and Hong Kong. Further information on HERC is available from our website (http://www.herc.ox.ac.uk). About Oxford Population Health Oxford Population Health (the Nuffield Department of Population Health) provides an excellent environment for multi-disciplinary research and teaching and for professional and support staff. We work together to answer some of the most important questions about the causes, prevention and treatment of disease. The Department has around 900 staff, students and academic visitors working in a number of world-renowned population health research groups, including the Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit (CTSU), the Cancer Epidemiology Unit (CEU), the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU) and other groups working on public health, health economics, ethics and health record linkage. It is also a key partner in the Oxford University’s Big Data Institute. In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), 96% of the research submitted to Unit of Assessment 2: Public Health, Health Services and Primary Care, was ranked either 4* (world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour) or 3* (internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour). This comprised research from Oxford Population Health and research from the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. We scored particularly well for having an environment that is conducive to producing research of world-leading quality and enabling outstanding impact, in terms of its vitality and sustainability. In addition to its research activities, the Department is home to the MSc in Global Health Science and Epidemiology, the MSc in Clinical Trials, and a variety of short courses. Students also come to undertake research for DPhil degrees.
